Tarot Reading : Iraq War - After the Veto What is next?

After Present Bush vetoed the Bill proposed by congress that would bring home troops from Iraq people are left to wonder what will happen now with the war? Most of you know by now I don't mind doing readings on issue that are in the media that may be a bit controversial, I like doing them cause the feedback comes quickly. So I wanted to do a little reading on the issue of the Iraq War.

1)Present Issue The Tower RX

2)What issue is ignored that needs attention Knight of Pentacles

3)What direction will things be heading into The Magician Rx

4)What needs to change 4 of Wands

5)Finale Outcome The Lovers

Present Issue – The Tower Rx – The Tower, it is one of the most strongest cards in the tarot deck because of the image and impression it gives us. Its not all bad as it may seem just like the Death and Devil Cards. The Tower brings forth a revelation brought on by sudden change. Things are seen more clearly when the tower comes because the errors and mistakes that where made are acknowledge. The tower came up Reversed. To me this means that people have not had the revelations they where supposed to about this war. To me this war was a mistake and being reversed some people are not acknowledging the errors and mistakes made, either it be going to war or the mistakes made while we are in Iraq. I also get the sense that some truth is being suppressed. A reversed tower also signals uncertainty and fear. Slow or little progress.

What issue is ignored that needs attention – Knight of Pentacles –This knight is about plans, stablity and waiting for the right moment to make his move. I feel that there is no real plan for Iraq right now and no one is paying attention to it. The Bill the was vetoed would have started a path and plans, we would have some direction.

What direction will things be heading into – The Magician Reversed –The magician stands for action and the ability to get anything done. Being that its reversed I would say that things will lose direction, plans will not be carried out or have trouble getting them done. There is a lack of power, things will be hard. There needs to be better training of solders and placing people in fields that best makes us of their skills because the reverse of this card signals inexperience or skills put to wrong use.

Whats needs to change – 4 of Wands – This card is about commongrounds and stable foundations. I see this a unity as well. In this country the Democrats and republicans needs to work together, find common ground! In Iraq there needs to be peace and unity of the different religious sects. I also feel that this card signals a need to focus on domestic issue rather than foreign.

Finale Outcome – The Lovers – I get a nice feeling from this. I feel that their will be unity in some degree to find a solution to the Iraq war. Hopefully this card says that the right choice will be made. But I feel it will be a choice made on Ethics and morals, it may not be the same ethics of the people rather of politicians.
